Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli announced that Edward Narucki had been arrested on Dec. 26 after a joint investigation by the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office and the Rutherford Police Department.

The allegation was first reported to the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency. In turn, that agency contacted the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Special Victims Unit.

The Prosecutor's Office charged Narucki with one count of Sexual Assault and one count of endangering the welfare of a child, both 2nd degree crimes. Judge Donald Venezia, J.S.C. set bail at $50,000 with no 10% option and ordered no contact with the victim. Narucki was released after posting bail and is set to be arraigned on Jan. 8.
